Most Ridiculous Huff and Puff Post
The Huffington Post isn’t the type of “news” (and we use the word loosely) organization that normally offers what we’d call level reporting, but in a piece entitled “Why Is That Gun There? The Most Ridiculous Firearm Owners Ever (PHOTOS),” they sink to new lows. This piece, while meant as a joke, crosses the line. How many of those photos are even examples of serious gun owners? How many were staged shots with fake guns? No way of knowing of course, but it is a great example for the liberal media to mock gun owners.
Huffington Post Posts About GOP Fund Raiser
When The Huffington Post reported that North Carolina Congressional GOP candidate Tim D’Annunzio held a fundraiser that noted included the chance to shoot a semi-automatic sub-machinegun, we expected some anti-gun commentary. Surprisingly there wasn’t much said beyond the facts:
“A contribution of $25 came complete with a full North Carolina barbecue dinner, sweet tea, a semi-automatic machine gun magazine for use at Jim’s Guns Indoor Shooting Range in Fayetteville, NC, the site of the fundraiser, and a raffle ticket for a chance to win an AR-15 assault rifle.”
Could it be that there really isn’t anything bad to say about this? Of course we expect the readers of the Huff to get all puffed up about it anyway!
Huffington Post Huffs and Puffs Again About NRA
In a recent piece for the liberal Huffington Post, Dennis A. Henigan (a noted anti-gun zealot) calls out the NRA, claiming there is no “cultural issue,” and notes:
“The core of the gun lobby’s strategy is to use fear tactics to keep gun owners in a constant state of agitation so that they can be activated to oppose even modest gun law reforms.”
Does he not understand the NRA, or the purpose of a lobby group? It seems so, and as a lobbyist himself, Henigan’s article would be laughable, were it not just a piece meant to put the NRA in a negative light. The NRA can never let down its guard on the issue of gun laws, because if it does so, the very freedoms it stands to protect could be taken away.
The media notes, and Henigan’s own group The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence often reports that Obama and the Democrats in Congress haven’t attempted new legislation on firearm ownership. But this doesn’t mean that it couldn’t happen. And Henigan clearly has an agenda, which is to let the NRA and others drop their guard, so that very legislation could be brought up.
Firing Back: Bill Mann – Please Shut Up!
Leave it to a “TV-Radio” critic to take up the anti-firearm cause. In a post for the ultra-liberal/ultra-wacko Huffington Post (which always sounds to us like they’re going to “huff” and “puff” until they blow away anyway who disagrees with their narrow point of view), Bill Mann has the audacity to suggest that gun collectors consider coins instead. In a counter argument to those who responded to early nonsense that he wrote, suggesting that many firearms are purchased as collectibles, he states:
“You mean, like the ones that killed Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy? Ever thought of collecting coins instead?”
I don’t want to collect coins Billy. Of course Bill the Mann mentions all this in response to the tragic shootings at Fort Hood last week. But the point is that the shooter didn’t even use “collectible firearms.” Why is when a tragedy like this occurs are law abiding citizens attacked and meant to feel like nutters? My firearms don’t hurt anyone. As long as the law is followed, why should collectors be made to suffer when a tragedy happens? Care to respond this time Bill?
Huffington Post Mourns Death of Ted Kennedy
Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, wasted no time to use the death of the so-called “Lion of the Senate” Ted Kennedy to write an anti-gun piece. While Teddy Kennedy probably wasn’t a fan of guns, he wasn’t exactly the most outspoken anti-gun zealot, so Helmke’s editorial for the Huffington Post is just another example of fear mongering by this true anti-gun zealot. Way to go Paul, keep up the good work.
